Information Kaitlyn S. would like to know about your pet

Need to know temperament and comfort level near other dogs and small children, as I have both and we sometimes go into public (depending on dog parent preference.)

A typical day

(Sample schedule that can be modified to fit your specific requests) We start the visit with get to know you’s and a home tour if boarding. Then we have a quick play in the yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood/greenway/hiking trail. Then back home for some relaxation time and a meal/treat. Later on we either do another walk or a playdate in the yard or a local dog park. Upon return we would do a meal/treat break and then wind down for the night. Potty breaks obviously included throughout the whole day. More in between rests, plays, and snuggles included as well.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a full time dog mom since 2007 and have cared for a variety of different breeds and temperament's. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m extremely active and love to get the pups outside on walks, runs, hikes, etc. Also, I’m always home so the dogs would never be left by themselves which is hard to find in sitters post-Covid. Love to take photos so you’ll receive many updates throughout the day if wanted. Dogs are meticulously cared for and treated like my own. Happy to accommodate even the quirkiest of requests.

If I could give Kaitlyn 6 stars I would, she is awesome! She was so communicative and was great with all of my animals. I had a crazy day at work and couldn’t look at my phone to answer questions or anything, but she took care of everything and took so much stress off of my plate. I highly recommend Kaitlyn!

Kaitlyn was fabulous! She sent multiple pictures daily with notes on the various activities with our dog, Abby. The stay was 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Abby was having a great time! We will be returning to Kaitlyn to care for Abby in the future!!
